OLDEST BUILDING
U Hall is Saved From Total De

FLAMES CAUSE $200
DAMAGE IN BASEMENT
Defective Wiring' Given as Cause

ers the Smoke.
While University of Nebraska stu
dents were home eating Christmas
turkeys and celebrating Santa Claus
in particular, the oldest building on
the campus of the Cornhusker institu
tion came near seeing its last days. A
matter of about ten minutes probably
saved U hall from total destruction.
Last Wednesday morning when H.
C. Witte, veteran mail carrier cf Sla
tion A, was sorting mail on the first
floor of U hull, his attention was
called to smoke emerging from the
I r sement of the building by a passer
by. Mr. Witte hastily .n to the
home of Fire Chief Olson, who lives
on U street, across from the library
building, and in as much time as it
takes to tell It the firemen wore on
the scene.
Smoke had filled the ei'.:2 builJ

ing might have gone. The quick work
of the fire fighters probably saved
the oldest building on the campus.
Only the printing plant store room
where the switchbox is located, was
damaged much.
The blaze was caused by a defective
fuse in a switch box in the basement
of the building, next to the newly es
tablished trade school printing planv.
From the switch box the flames had
spread upward into the beams sup
porting the first floor of the building
but they did not penetrate the floor.
The damage to the building
amounted to $200, according to Chi i
Olson. Repairs on the wiring ard
damaged portions of tin basement
were started immediately and the
ruins are nearly cleared up
CUTTER PREDICTS
BIG
Dean of Medical College Says
Schools With 25,000 Students
'to Become Common.
That universities of the middle-west
will soon be boasting of twenty lo
twenty-five thousand students is the
prediction of Dean Irving S. Cutter
of the college of medicine of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Dr. Cuttpr be
lieves that universities which do not
have a student body of that large a
number will bo missing the mark.
This enormous growth among uni
versities of the middle west will conic,
Dean Cutter says, because the people
are going to begin demanding the
type of education the university can
give them. State universities today
are proud when they have a student
body in the neighborhood of 10,000.
"Thiit doesn't begin to measure the
service they can give and will give
some time," the dean continued.
Dr. Cutter explained that while no
tuition is charged, except in profes
sional schools, certain fees combine
with endowment interest and govern
ment funds provided under various
laws to make up about one-third of
the yearly expeditures, so that tax
payers do not go down in their pock
ets for three million dollars a yeai.
as some of them believe, but for very
much less than that; and they get
in return service that they are only
beginning to appreciate.
CORN EATERS CLUB
